Out of the mouths of babes

I had some interesting conversations with my 4-year-old nephew today. Here’s a snippet.

I wore my new brown, pointy toe shoes at church today. He looks at them and exclaims:
“You’re wearing elf shoes!” This was followed by a burst of giggles.
Ouch. That stung a little Jon.

Then, while we were eating lunch, we were talking about what he wants for Christmas. I told him he could buy me a new stereo for my car.
He looks at me and matter of factly says: “Emmie (that what he calls me) you’ll want sparkly shoes.”
The child KNOWS me! I love all things sparkly and blingy. Children see way more than we give them credit for!
